Tottenham manager Pochettino has backed Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho to be a success at Old Trafford but asked to give him more time.
Mourinho had a difficult start to his career at Old Trafford as the Red Devils are way behind their league rivals in terms of points as they currently sit at sixth position in the Premier League which has brought him plenty of criticism.
“It’s clear that when you are with a great club, as I am with Tottenham, the pressure to win is always greater,” Pochettino told ESPN Argentina. “And there are always voices of criticism when the results are not what everyone anticipates.
“Definitely, whenever one starts a new project, it requires time. In this case, even though Jose is one of the best coaches in the world, he needs more time to put his ideas in place and so that the team can function as he wants them to. It is too early to pass judgment regarding things that are happening with the teams just yet.”
